Asterisk Gallery Benefit
November 10, 2009 by csuphoto
Dana Deprew is planning Asterisk Gallery’s 5th Annual Benefit. He is looking for artists to donate a work. He is especially interested in featuring artists who’ve taken part in exhibitions over the past year as a sort of showcase. That includes many of you who were included in the Image + Object exhibition. (Photo III: this will count as 1 local exhibition requirement).
All work is auctioned with bids starting at $30. So not only is this a great opportunity to support an important community arts organization in our area, its also a chance to pick up some new art for your pad at a great price.
Silent Bidding starts on Fri, Dec 11, 5-10pm and ends Sat, Dec 12, 6-11pm.

Local Student Art Competition

Now this is interesting:
Gala Gallery, a new gallery in Legacy Village is holding an exhibition/competition for students (HS & college) in major cities on the 41st Parallel North. This includes Chicago, Cleveland, Porto, Barcelona, Rome, Tbilisi and Istanbul.
$500 First prize is awarded by gallery visitors’ voting. And I can’t find anything about an entry fee. The gallery has a commercial and international (travel) angle.

CSU Photo was prominently featured in an article in Photo District News Education (PDNedu). It featured student Meghan Fischer and alumnus Peter Jennings, as well as the Phototography Exchange Blog and Youngstown State’s photo blog. I haven’t seen the hard copy yet. But I have a pdf of the article.
